The hex color #281483, also known as Blue Gem, presents some accessibility challenges, particularly when used as a foreground color against a white or light-colored background. Due to its relatively low lightness value, the contrast ratio may not meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards for text legibility. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 is recommended for normal text and 3:1 for large text. When using Blue Gem for text or interactive elements, it's crucial to verify the contrast ratio using accessibility evaluation tools. If the contrast is insufficient, consider using a lighter shade of blue or pairing it with a brighter background color to ensure readability and usability for users with visual impairments. Additionally, provide alternative cues such as icons or text labels, to enhance the user experience for individuals with color blindness.
